Turkey Hunting Valley
The back valley has it all including running water, turkeys, deer and all sorts of wildlife. This section of WI hunting land is great for taking a hike or an ATV ride.
The following pictures start with finishing up a walk from a hill near King’s point and goes back down the pasture towards the front of the property where we exit on to Sneed Creek road.
The walk is outlined in red on this aerial view of the property.
Back Pasture Turkey Hunting
This is the first look after we come out of the woods. This is actually the second hill in the King’s Point portion of our whitetail deer outlook review. For some reason I didn’t take pictures of the logging road access road and the second hill. I guess that means more pictures to come — provided no one buys this great Wisconsin hunting land for sale before that time.
This picture is to the Northwest and shows the small field that has been planted with corn in the past for the deer, turkeys and pheasants.
This photo is from the same spot but it looks straight West towards a side hill for the ridge field above. Please note the twisted willow trees in the valley riven. That hill has a very steep and sharp point to it. Believe me it is REALLY cold up there during deer hunting season because you are in the shade most of the afternoon. My brother and I drove many a deer towards my dad and his cousin. Yes — they made our walk worth it.
The view is between the two photos above and it looks straight towards the original access point off of Sneed Creek road. This section of land was my favorite for the tractor rides. The summer time was for the fun rides. The hunting season provided the trails to carry the deer and hunters out when we were done.
This is the same shot but with zoom. You can actually see the field land across Sneed Creek road.
I’m still in the same spot but this time we’re looking towards the East. The line fence is just beyond the pasture. Madison is only 45 miles away! The second spring is almost all the way to the line fence. By the way … if you hadn’t noticed this spot is a great deer hunting stand as you have three valleys to watch. The bow guys will of course “climb” to higher ground.
Well, we’re finally on the move. The next photo is a close up of the small view. The green apple tree is gone so you’ll probably want to make your deer stand back further. By the way, I’d recommend getting some good stuff from Fleet Farm, Cabela’s or Gander Mountain because it was colder than all get out when dad was picking the corn here.
This view is to the South on my left. It is looking back up the section of the valley where we first came off the backside of the ridge. Actually this is probably looking straight at one of those shots that was taken near the walnut trees over there. The main spring is just around the tree sticking out into the pasture. If you have dogs, this is a ’sniffer’ paradise for them with all of the whitetail, cattle, turkeys, squirrels, etc. going through here.
I can’t decide whether it’s more fun walking through this valley when it’s green like this or waiting for the deer to cross during the season.
This picture is of a willow tree. One of the family friends took a few of these twisted branches and turned them into some really awesome walking canes. He stripped the bark, sanded it and varnished it. The twists and knots were truly works of natures art. He really did a great job
This picture is from the same spot as the last one but in the opposite direction back to the line fence. Yup … the bottom of the picture verifies that there is water back here even though I GOOF’ed up and didn’t actually get a close up picture. Darn rookies!
Another close up of the small field. This area is surrounded by walnut trees. The deer don’t eat the walnuts but they do love this field. You can decide on what you think they like for dessert.
This picture takes us along the valley stream towards the original entrance. Willow trees to left and straight ahead. Walnuts to the left. This is also one of the favorite spots where our cousin dropped many a deer. He was usually standing at the large maple tree on the far right. We were circling the hills — believe me that was better for me as that is MUCH warmer during the those whitetail deer drives from the past.
Today’s hunters are much different but what the heck. It was more like a team during the ‘old days’. Family and friends coordinated a plan (most of the time) and everyone worked their part to make a drive successful. I think I remember more stories from the gatherings and drives than I do from the actually hunting part. Personally I think today’s hunting styles are missing out on a lot of great times.
Ah yes … a beautiful straight shot of the pasture back to Sneed creek road. It doesn’t look far but we still have quite a walk left. Our tractor road is just off to the right.
The following is one last look back up the valley towards the East.
Now we are on our favorite tractor / ATV road looking West. Again you’ll see more walnut trees, the valley stream and all the potential of the fantastic Wisconsin hunting land.
Another one last look backwards up the tractor trail with all of it’s walnut coverage.
This was one of our cousin’s favorite stands. From here he watched the valley to the right as deer raced across the valley. He also watched as they came of the hill in front of him and crossed to his left catching their trails near the small field.
As you probably guessed, this picture is at the end of the field that we started this walk out with.
This is picture is from the same spot as the last but it is to the left (South) and it’s where the second main ridge road goes up to the ridge fields. It’s steep and a challenge to walk through the valley during a deer drive around the hill but also one more of the unique parts of the property.
There will be more photos added to the website but only as long as the property is still available for sale. We will take hunting leasing rights for as long as the property is ours. Those rights will be worked out in the event the land is sold. The choice is yours. I won’t wait too long if I were you.

Thank you.
